Gingerbread Loaf

This is another recipe from Mandi's week. I was so expecting a really sweet bread and instead it's a very mild flavor. Nice as a basic bread so it's a good thing I used up the other bread I made for lunch sandwiches=))) Smells so good! The lemon icing would make it sweeter but it didn't sound good to me so I skipped it.
